Re " BHX has a very similar airline demographic to MAN, so should have a similar staff to flight ratio. That seems to accept anything and everything".
Seems recently the general rule for diversions now is BHX can accept two 77W/A330/747, up to five B767 size types, and numerous 737/A320 ,all at the same time, so they do have a limit of sorts.
These are the figures Ive heard recently from ground ops, but may well alter. They have had up to 5 wide bodies divert at the same few winters back, and the record was 5 B747s and 2 other WB many years ago though.
Do MAN not have a similar plan on what they can accept, might save some confusion ?
